The odds are against you in that scenario. He did awesome with the weapons at hand. Now, if he only had Ricky Williams for just one year...........Marino made costly mistakes b/c the Fins tries to run up the middle twice, losing yardage and he would have to squeeze a ball in betwenn 2 defenders for 15 plus yards on a regular basis.

Bush is doing a great job now, and can also catch some passes out of the backfield. Secondly, you don't need a top-notch QB to win a Super Bowl (do the names Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler and Mark Rypien ring any bells?). You need somebody like Wisconsin's Russell Wilson - a guy who has poise and doesn't make costly mistakes (like Marino tended to do...).
As for the best AFC team to challenge the Pack, it's still gotta be the dreaded Pats. If they can get their secondary even moderately together, then they're always a force to be reckoned with. The Steelers might make a run, but they've got more issues.First, I’m not sold on Thomas – he’s still got a lot to prove.

I thought he should have been the starter this year, but everyone laughed saying Henne had a stronger arm and had been in the system longer. Now I know Moore has 4 TD's to his 4 INT's but he is at a 67 percent Completion rate. and with that the Defense has to respect him a little more, then Henne. now this brings me to my next point.
Bush has looked better since Moore took over, there are a few reasons for this. First off the O line is opening a holes, and exploding off the line much better then the first half. Second Thomas got hurt, which gave the oppertunitty for Bush to get more then just 10 carries, now he can get in a rythm during the game. Finally the over all better QB play has the defense not stacking the box like they were the first half of the season.
Now the passing game specifically Marshal, who nobody is really talking about. The phins are finally starting to utilize him correctly Moore being the first year he has started since 09 is looking for marshal and getting it to him. Marshal is not a deep threat reciever he is more of a slot reciever, and that is how he needs to be utilized. he is great at the quick slants, the out routes, and the hitch plays. Now obviously corners will relize this and start cutting the routes when the safety's are over the top, thats when his speed and height come into play. This is when you give him a fade route and let him jump for the ball, almost nobody will take it from him.
Now im not saying we should not draft a QB, but what I am saying is that lets get Weeden who I honestly believe is just as good if not better than Luck. Then you have him sit the first year and start Moore, give Moore a chance to prove himself, if he keeps up his stats this year.
And now i know i raised hell saying Weeden is just as good if not better then Luck. but look at the season this year and the stats and compare them. Luck lost misserably and looked like a young QB against a good Oregon team. and the week prior didnt look very good against USC. and before that who did Stanford really play? Now im not saying Luck isnt a great QB, im just saying lets not all get down because we cant get him anymore. because really this years draft is as deep if not deeper since the 83 Draft, which put 3 QB's into the Hall of Fame and 4 to the Superbowl.Matt Moore looks great, I was high on him when we got him.

Warfield42Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:38:47 +0000http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_football_dolphins/?p=14715#comment-659024This thread got away from Daniel Thomas & his ever increasingly dupe image of Ronnie Brown. He is average to slightly above at best. A power runner with little to no elusivity, no wiggle. With a great OL he can be serviceable, with ours - he's just not good enough to raise the appearance of their level of play. His hammy doesn't bode well for the perception of his durability, but he's young. He's just too straight up and lacking in cut back ability to project as anything more than average.
As far as who in the AFC can beat GB? Any given Sunday...only the Ravens, but if Rodgers is right...NOBODY!This thread got away from Daniel Thomas & his ever increasingly dupe image of Ronnie Brown.

And, with Thomas nursing those injuries the Dolphins gave him what he wanted and it turned out good for them. So they are going to use whoever can make them look good right now and Bush is doing a fine job. But I wouldn't count Thomas out. He's already shown great promise. I believe he will be the RB of the Future for Miami. Bush doesn't have much left.Guess you missed the previous articles where Bush was complaining about not getting enough play time.

The 49ers D isn't good enough to keep up with all the weapons of GB for an entire game, and Alex Smith won't be able to keep up with Rodgers even with their D being as good as they are. And neither is the Giants secondary, not to mention the Pats secondary.I’m afraid the pack won’t lose any games this year and be the second undefeated team in NFL history.
